Washington Square (composition)

"Washington Square" is a popular instrumental from 1963 by the New York City-based jazz group The Village Stompers.
Named after the famous park in New York City,〔Hyatt, Wesley (1999). ''The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits'' (Billboard Publications)〕 "Washington Square" became a hit single in November 1963, when it peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart,〔Whitburn, Joel (1996). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 6th Edition (Billboard Publications)〕 kept from the summit by Dale and Grace's hit song "I'm Leaving It Up to You"〔Bronson, Fred (2003). ''The Billboard Book of #1 Hits'', 5th Edition (Billboard Publications), page 140.〕 during the week that Kennedy was assassinated. It did, however, top the ''Billboard'' Easy Listening chart for three weeks that November〔 and made the top 30 on the ''Billboard'' R&B chart. In addition, the song was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Instrumental Theme.
Other artists have recorded the song, sometimes as a vocal track. Among these acts are The Ames Brothers (their last national chart record), the Kirby Stone Four, Percy Faith, Lawrence Welk, Kenny Ball, Spike Jones, James Last, Andre Kostelanetz, Kai Winding, The Ventures, Sammy Kaye & His Orchestra, and The Dukes of Dixieland.〔〔ASCAP. "ACE Title Search." http://www.ascap.com/index.aspx〕
"Washington Square" shares the same metre as many popular hymns, known as 86.86D or CMD (Metre doubled ). In the 1970s, some churches were singing hymns such as "The Lord Is My Shepherd" and "Amazing Grace" to the tune.
